We were very happy with this place. It is situated in a local neighborhood, which means no harrasment from tuk tuk and taxi drivers. You are left to yourself which is a very nice change when you have been touring the central Bangkok area.

House1194 felt really safe, and very much like a home away from home. Our interaction with the host, however, was solely by phone or messages through airbnb. She was helpful, but we never saw her. The caretakers at the premises did not speak English, so any sort of guidance was unavailable. Also, due to the apartment being in this very local area, it continued to be a problem for the taxi and tuk tuk drivers to find. For these reasons, we give a 4 star rating.

Do not let this scare you. It is possible to find, and once you get familiar with the area, I am sure you will get a much more interesting experience here than any other touristy hotel or guesthouse. My girlfriend and I were very happy with the place and will return after our 3 month roundtrip in the Mekong region.
